Is diflucan same as fluconazole?

Yes. Diflucan is just the brand name for the antifungal medicine fluconazole. Fluconazole is the generic name.

They are the same active drug; Diflucan is one brand option, and generic fluconazole is another. The formulations (tablets, liquid suspension, IV) are similar, with differences mainly in inactive ingredients and packaging.

Regulatory status can vary by country (some places require a prescription for fluconazole). If you’re considering using it, or have medical conditions or other medicines you take, talk to a healthcare provider or pharmacist for dosing and safety guidance. If you want, tell me what infection you’re treating and any meds you’re taking, and I can share general dosing ranges and potential interactions.
